A notice of non-party disclosure must—
be issued in the same way as a claim; and
state the allegation in issue in the proceeding about which the document sought is directly relevant; and
include a certificate signed by the applicant’s solicitor, or if the applicant acts personally, by the applicant, stating that there is not available to the applicant another reasonably simple and inexpensive way of proving the matter sought to be proved by the document; and
be in the approved form; and
be served in the same way as a claim and within 3 months after its issue.
However, the applicant may serve the respondent only after the applicant has served all other persons who are required to be served under rule 244.
